The Australian Chinese Charity Foundation Inc (ACCF) was formed in 1990 as a broad based charity organisation to help the Australian community at large. It is supported by the generosity of patrons, trustees and a corporate trustee; life members and ordinary members; the dedication of a Management Committee and; a Council Board (since 2009) – all voluntary members who have worked consistently to achieve ACCF’s aims and objectives and to extend ACCF’s reach to many other charitable organisations.

DISASTER RELIEF PROJECTS 2007

ACCF initiated fundraising to assist the victims of Cyclone Larry which hit North Queensland in March 2007. The Cyclone inflicted much damage to the area, resulting in the loss of homes, schools, farms and infrastructure. An ACCF team travelled to Queensland to visit some of the families affected and to contribute $12,000 towards the Cyclone Larry disaster relief fund.

ACCF supported the appeal held by Lions Club International to assist those who have suffered from the “Big Drought.” ACCF donated $5000 as a seed contribution towards this cause and also attended many of the fundraising events in support of drought relief appeal.
